Testimonials
“Being invited into your group felt like being thrown a life raft and sharing those thoughts and fears with a group of men and women facing similar life experiences felt like entering a hallowed place. I emerged from the group with new hope, but more than that, a sense of joy. Thank you so much for creating a place to talk about a subject that is too much in the dark.”
~ Katie K.
"I have a better understanding of reincarnation (and many new questions). Most importantly for me is the impact this group has directly for people and their families, because with more of an understanding and acceptance of death, dying, and afterlife, they can start to have conversations they otherwise wouldn’t have with their families. In so doing perhaps they can experience death and dying as the beautiful rite of passage it is and be a part of mindful, peaceful passings with their loved ones."

“I was very moved and inspired by the experience. I particularly appreciated the varied points of view in the group and liked each and every one of them. Perhaps one of the most interesting things for me was how so many different facets of my life right now seem to dovetail. Most important of all, how it has helped me rethink my relationship with those I care about most, particularly my aging parents and my two kids.”
~ Mimi D.
“The group was full of supportive information that served as a comfort to me and created the container in which to process my grief. In a society that doesn't address crossing over questions, one can be left feeling bewildered and alienated after loss of a loved one. The group explores, acknowledges, and supports all the unanswered questions. It opened the door to another dimension that I hope others will get to experience through this important work.”

"I have had many lasting effects from my experience in the [Shared Crossing] program- an overall greater appreciation for my current, ongoing life as well as a better understanding of my future passing from this life. But in particular I came to a deeper understanding and acceptance of the part I played (and should have played) in my mother's passing from cancer when I was eighteen. It was something I carried around in me like a stone and I can honestly say that ever since I went through the program, that stone has seemed to have evaporated."
- Bill S.
“Throughout my life, I have contemplated the human transition from our physical, earthly experience (death) to the possibilities that exist beyond. "Life After Death" and "The Sequel," offered by William Peters, MFT, have given me the opportunities to learn, explore and experience this subject in a safe and supportive gathering of like-minded individuals. Participating in these groups has been comforting, uplifting, and transformative.”

"The Life Beyond Death class offered the dialogue I have been seeking for a lifetime. It helped in making a shift into what I already knew deep within, but could not confirm alone. Having worked in Hospice and clinical settings, as a nurse and psychotherapist, where I witnessed the polar opposites in dealing with death, I was also drawn to attend the class after being with my mother at her passing. One of the book's assigned, David Kessler's "Visions, Trips and Crowded Rooms" affirmed her "Death Bed Experience" for which I was present and which was extremely poignant for me. William's gracious facilitation of the group created a safe haven for those either experiencing grief, working through existential angst or simply exploring the inevitable of what is so clearly avoided in our culture; that death IS a part of life and a transition, not an ending. I look forward to the sequel and beyond."

“How precious has it been for me to feel and heal in a safe, loving and compassionate environment. The journaling I have done has been more valuable to me than any other journaling because it has brought me to a place of peace and acceptance of my life. This class has allowed me to open up my heart more fully as I let go of all that unfinished business that has constricted my heart.”
